DeepSeek announced that since V4.1 Flash outperforms V4 Pro on performance, cost, speed, and total time, all V4 Pro requests will be routed to V4.1 Flash and billed at Flash's lower price until V4.1 Pro launches.
Commentator zephyrz9 flagged the "before V4.1 Pro" wording as confirmation that a V4.1 Pro release is imminent, jokingly wondering if its pretraining run was "cursed."
